Living Planet Aquarium

Paul had the day off on Veteran's Day and we wanted to go out and do something as a family. Since there were all sorts of Veteran's Day deals for Veterans we decided to go do some. We went to lunch at Texas Roadhouse and Paul got his lunch for free since he's a Veteran. Then we went over to the Living Planet Aquarium. The aquarium had free admission for all veterans too. The girls and I have memberships to the aquarium. It wasn't too busy, and it was fun!

The Stingray were pretty active in the touch pool and kept going up the side of the pool.

Kaylee and Paul stayed at the touch pool for quite a while but Gabby wanted to go over to the Coral Play area.

After we left the Stingray pool we went over to the penguins. The penguins were really active too. Almost all of them were in the water swimming around. It was fun watching them jump in the water and dive, swim around, and then jump out just to do it again.

Playing in the snow

Last weekend we got quite a bit of snow. The kids were so excited to go out and play in the snow. They went out to the backyard and built a snowman, then another, and another, and just kept building until they had 5 different sizes of snowmen. They came inside and warmed up and then went out and built a super tall snowman.

The giant snowman tipped over so they decided to use it as a surf board...or a snow board. Anyway, they were surfing in the snow. After they were done surfing they made it into a table and chairs.

They played until my parents came over after they had visited my grandma to see if Kaylee and Gabby wanted to ride with them to their house. They jumped at the opportunity. Then they built a snow stage in my parent's back yard. They loved playing in the snow!
